The Twins

The Twins

 Hitty Addie was so excited to have a new sister who looks just like her. Hitty Addie decided they would be twins so she gave her the name Maddie. Hitty Addie and Hitty Maddie! I told you that earlier.  



                   Hitty Addie wanted them to have new dresses. Not exactly matching dresses, but pretty dresses and hats! They have already gotten so close - just like twins!

Dolls For Dolls

You know if you're a little girl doll you need a little girl doll! 

I have a friend who knows I do 'doll stuff' and she gave me these tiny little tennis dolls. She used to play tennis and was going to make little pins to wear from these little girls and never did so she gave them to me.


Hittys Annabelle and Caroline and holding the little tennis girls. They are cute but they are not to my liking. I asked my friend if she would mind if I redid them. Of course she didn't.

I cut off their tennis clothes and made appropriate lady like little girl dresses. I needed to do something about that hair so I rearranged the hair to look sweet and lovely. I have to admit these dolls have funny looking faces.
The dolls look really big here but they are actually barely 2" tall!
The Hittys are going to love playing with their new dolls.

A Whiter Shad of Pale

A Whiter Shade of Pale

 Well, Hitty Everly told me she wanted a crisp white dress and hat! She seems to be very opinionated! It's amazing how these little girls develop their own personality. She is kinda prissy but sweet.  I can deal with that.

Anyway, I crocheted her a little dress with royal blue trims and added a blue band and bow to her hat. Again, how magical these little dolls are - here she is showing you her front and her back! Not so sure I would want to do that!

A Very Fine House

Our House Is A Very, Very Fine House


 As much fun as we have playing, the house has to be kept up with - food needs to be cooked, dusting and cleaning - all the girls have their chores. 


Here you see they are all hard at work.

                                 

Hitty Delilah is busy in the kitchen preparing lunch.

                            

  

Hittys Annabelle and Evie are busy in the dining room putting down the sweets!

                                      


                         The twins, Hittys Addie and Maddie are in the sun room with the tea all ready to drink.

 



Have these girls finished their chores are or they goofing off? Anyway, they're the new girls in the house and we will go easy on them.

Meet Hitty Everly

Meet Hitty Everly

 Meet Hitty Everly! She is my latest carve and you can see I’m not quite finished with her pegs and don’t have her boot laces in yet. I think I’m improving but I think her face is too fat and I still can’t get the eyes right.

I posted this on our Facebook Hitty group and did get lots of suggestions! Just carve her face down. Why couldn't I think of that?

                                                                       


                                                                                             A little chopping of her face and hair line and Hitty Everly looks so much better now.

I like her face much better now. I need to learn how to sand her face more to make it smooth.

I Like My Mantel

 Not only do I love to make little dolls, I love to decorate too! One place I always change out with the seasons is my my living room mantel.

Here's a little peep.
I collect Staffordshire dogs and these are some of my larger ones and they begged to be placed on the mantel this Spring.
Aren't they sweet just frolicking through the hydrangeas.
Here is last years mantel filled with little bunnies!

Our Hitty Family Is Growing!

  I’m so very excited as my Hitty family continues to grow!! 

 I bought this lovely signed Gail Wilson Hitty from a Hitty friend! She’s beautiful and Hitty Addie is ecstatic that she has her look alike sister!!! Other Hittys have come out to welcome her and are waiting for their hugs.

Hitty Addie, my first Hitty, can't believe she has a sister who looks almost just like her. Hitty Addie begged to give our new girl a name. We all agreed - it will be Hitty Maddie! The twins - Hitty Addie and Hitty Maddie!



Welcome to our Hitty Family, Hitty Maddie!

Yellow Mellow

 Hitty Caroline is still number one in my house for a little while so she needs a wardrobe - I'm in charge of that. She loves how she looks in yellow and we put together a little dress for her.

She got a new crocheted hat too!

  I just made up this dress pattern for her. It's a one piece dress as I added the bib part to the bodice and then added the skirt.

Hitty Caroline! Put your skirt down! Okay, okay, she just wants to show you her pretty bloomers.
